Here are 10 ways to reduce power use without negatively affecting the data centre.
Do an onsite audit & modelling: An audit can help identify areas of inefficiency, says Greg Stover, senior vice president of sales at NER.The audit should take into account items such as room layout, rack-by-rack IT equipment densities, CRAC type and location, total equipment power consumption, point temperatures throughout the room, cutouts, and leakage. Stover says, “Next, a modelling process with many iterations and scenarios can help you develop a complete thermal solution for the data centre that prevents excess power use.”
